Noise Absorbing Panel by Using Agro Waste Material

Abstract: Noise Pollution is a environmental concern , impacting on health . To mitigate this issue in the crowded locality . Noise absorbing panel wall developed using agro waste material such as maize waste , coconut fibre, rice straw waste with adhesive material for binding and moulded into 1x1ft panel with 1 cm thickness and dried under the sun . The panel was installed and tested using a sound meter app. Result show an average reduction of 10dB in noise level. The result showed that panel has good sound absorption properties, where light weight, non toxic and biodegradable. This agro waste panel can be effectively used to create low cost.
